Description
NOVA Spigot – Tested & Compliant Frameless Glass Balustrade System
A tested and compliant spigot-mounted frameless glass balustrade solution, engineered to meet AS 1288:2021 and NCC 2022 requirements. Suitable for Wind Regions A, B1, B2, with steel / concrete / timber fixing options and certified configurations for stand-alone or top-rail fixed installations.
Overview
The NOVA Spigot system is designed for spigot-mounted glass barriers and is supplied as part of a range of tested and compliant solutions supported by engineering documentation. The NCC adoption of AS 1288-2021 introduced additional guidance for barriers, including deflection control for cantilevered glass (e.g., spigot-mounted panels).
